2014 Is Going Down As The Biggest Year For IPOs Since The Dotcom Bubble

"With 273 IPOs, 2014 was the most active period of issuance since
406 companies went public in 2000," noted the folks at
Renaissance Capital IPO Intelligence. "It was the second year of
uninterrupted IPO activity, up 23% over 2013, due to a doubling
of biotech issuance."

According to Renaissance Capital, the health care sector led the
way with a whopping 100 IPOs. Think biotech stocks.

"Despite the higher volume, health care proceeds rose just 2%
over last year due to several large deals in 2013."
